So says Rev. Darrel Scott.

Reason? Criminal and prison reform, of which Trump is a big advocate. Also, pardons of prominent blacks that had been denied pardons by Clinton and Obama. Trump has also met with groups of black ministers at the White House to listen to their concerns. They are not necessarily his supporters, but he reaches out to them.

And then you have Dennis Rodman, who said that Obama wouldn't give him the time of day. But Trump listened to what he had to say about North Korea's leader Kim Jung-un, and Rodman believes it helped pave the way to an agreement.

It seems to be a class thing. All those prison convicts, non-violent drug offenders, Rodman, Alice Johnson, and Jack Johnson weren't in Obama's class, but Trump apparently sees them as fellow travelers just as he goes out of his way to chat up construction workers, service people, security people, and so on.

I don't know if this is Trump's reason for doing this, but some are saying something like 15 or 20 percent of the black vote could shift to him. You can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye if that happens.
 
Yeah, President Tiki Torch is a real civil rights hero.

Trump’s Justice Department isn’t enforcing civil rights
The Trump administration is pursuing far fewer civil rights cases than its predecessors, a VICE News review of Justice Department records shows. Total activity in the agency’s civil rights division is at a 17-year low, falling well below levels seen in the last two administrations. One DOJ section charged with enforcing laws on police department misconduct has been completely inactive.

Trump Administration Quietly Rolls Back Civil Rights Efforts Across Federal Government
For decades, the Department of Justice has used court-enforced agreements to protect civil rights, successfully desegregating school systems, reforming police departments, ensuring access for the disabled and defending the religious.

Now, under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the DOJ appears to be turning away from this storied tool, called consent decrees. Top officials in the DOJ civil rights division have issued verbal instructions through the ranks to seek settlements without consent decrees — which would result in no continuing court oversight.

The move is just one part of a move by the Trump administration to limit federal civil rights enforcement. Other departments have scaled back the power of their internal divisions that monitor such abuses. In a previously unreported development, the Education Department last week reversed an Obama-era reform that broadened the agency’s approach to protecting rights of students. The Labor Department and the Environmental Protection Agency have also announced sweeping cuts to their enforcement.

President Trump's First Year Was an Affront to Civil Rights
 
Criminal reform would be great. It's something that has been needed for a long time. Pardoning someone because Kim Kardashian visits isn't solving the issue though. Actually reforming the criminal justice system requires things like executive action or bills.
 
The Greatest Civil Rights leader is currently constructing internment camps in Texas for children.

I'm not a rabid anti-Trumper and actually mostly don't have an issue with most of his policy positions. That said, he's no where near anything that would be considered being the best civil rights President in a generation. Part of that is public discourse and relations and he's not been good for that.

Was this before or after Trump said that Police should be more rough during arrests?

What do you suggest the U.S. do about the influx of illegal people? Do you think those who come in illegally, spitting on our Federal Laws and bringing their children with them, is a good thing?
Upholding the law, is now somehow, wrong?

must be slow day or trolls eat free somewhere!

but honestly claiming things like this...or even worst... parroting others nutty claims like this, does show how far gone is the republican party and conservatives, and walking down a rabbit hole that they will never climb back out

Diving Mullah
 
Jezus, you jokes are folks?

Are they putting trippy opioids in the water supply up there in the major cities now? I have never seen such massive simultaneous and coordinated delusional hallucinations that feed on each other.

Must be the Russians...colluding with Trump of course.

As to the OP, a generation is considered about 30 years... GHW Bush through until today. Who has been better and how? We are not even a year and a half in yet, it should be remembered.

The hypocritical part of all this is, if Obama was doing it, no problem, the rule of law doesn't matter. But, with Trump...the irrational hate comes out. The hate for Trump is like an irrational plague of minds.

You legalize them with work visas, raise the taxes paid by these work visa immigrants and on the employers hiring them. Start imprisoning employers hiring under the table employees. Voila. Problem solved.

Theoretically, that might work. Stopping them from coming in "illegally" for years and decades, is another matter. I have no problem with legal immigration.

Not even close. It's only because the media says he is and people believe it. He is the only president in recent history, that has kept his campaign promises. I applaud him for that and all the accomplishments that he has made in such a short time. Obama and the Clintons were far worse. The media and the idiots in Hollywood gave them a pass and their morals are in the gutter.
No matter what happens, the media will twist it to make Donald Trump look bad. This has been going on since right after the election, after they got over their total shock because the fix was in for Hillary....and it blew their minds.
